To sell to people, they have to view you as an authority in your field.

As the pickup artist – teacher and hypnotist – Roff Jeffries said: You want to establish that you are an authority in the world of the other person. People will not accept that you are an authority on where they should go or what they should do unless they first accept that you are an authority or an expert on where they are at. If you want people to accept that you are an authority on where they should go, you must first demonstrate that you understand where they are at.”

We want our products to sell.

Maya Angelou gave one of the most fantastic quotes that many sellers and marketers have cherished and adapted.

She said: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

To me, this is one of the top quotes in marketing and product to apply as gospel and philosophy

May her soul Rest in Peace. She went through a lot in her life, and yet she chose to still be a pillar of strength and liveliness to the world.

It seems everyone is talking about the Fourth Industrial Revolution – Abbreviated 4IR and called Industry 4.0 also.

Do you battle to understand what it is?

Relax, once you understand innovation and evolution in the context I will give below, you will have a high-level interpretation of what is this (the Fourth any coming) Industrial Revolution, why and how it forms, and how to take part in it.

This is a 3-minute quick read. It is a shortened derivative of this article: The Human Greed Pyramid, an Illustration of How Innovations Interrelates With Humans’ Consumption Patterns and Natural Inclinations, and How to Plot Innovation That Works on Humans http://bit.do/eKg2e

Human beings (PEOPLE) are part of NATURE (first layer in the pyramid).

NATURAL INCLINATIONS is where consumption patterns shape. It is the evolutional biology and psychology of the choices we make.

Some of the INCLINATIONS: Lust, love, anger, joy happiness, need for community, etc.

How does nature relate with human/natural inclinations? Hunger is satisfied by eating food that nature

People’s natural inclinations push them to form cultures, e.g. tribes. Even animals organise themselves into what we choose to call packs, herds, or troops.

People use their cognition to innovate, i.e. create manmade Both hard (a chair) and soft innovations (software, marriage, jokes).

Innovation is that which works, is effective and thus successful. If it does not work, it is not innovative.

e. there is a psychobiological link between humanly inclinations and innovation.

People created and craze and crave Facebook, Mc Donald’s, YouTube, iPhone – to the next phone better than an iPhone, religion, marriage, a beautiful/sexy partner – and another bae on the side, porn, etc.

This is because these things satisfy people’s inclinations.

Inclinations manifest themselves in these innovations. E.g., human beings have evolved to have a sweet tooth – i.e. to love sugary foods. The juicier the fruit, the calorie filled it is, and that is how our ancestors adapted to consuming sugar – that piece of juicy steak, passing this to us genetically and epigenetically. Then commerce made processed sugar to capitalize further. Hence we love Coke and ice cream.

The innovations become part of cultures depending on the extent of their success and spread – new innovations can topple or divide old innovations.

Humans are greedy beings. We want more and more innovations. We push to beat current innovations. It is a biological inclination.

I am selling. You are selling. Or you probably want to sell something – now or in the near future.

And we want people to buy from us when we sell, obviously.

To whom do people give their money? They give their money to those they perceive, believe and accept as experts – or authority – in fields they need help in. They pay these people to solve their problems, wants, frustrations and failures.

So then, we should and do want people to think we are an authority – and/or experts – in our given fields.

Snoop Dogg received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and in his ‘Thank You Speech,’ he thanked himself.

To quote the speech: “I want to thank me for believing in me, I want to thank me for doing all this hard work, I want to thank me for having no days off, I want to thank me for never quitting, I want to thank me for always being a giver, and trying to give more than I receive, I want to thank me for doing more right than wrong, I want to thank me for being me at all times…”

That is some cold ass truth.

His speech made me realise the importance of accumulating everyday activities that help me get closer to achieving my goals and wishes in life.

Am I doing all I can to achieve my goals? Am I going at it daily? Am I working relentlessly hard?
